Winter Rocks and Ice


 tiny islands
floating


catching my eyes
my heart


 ice cloaking
dripping
bubbling


 formations exquisite


tiny islands
floating

Yea, Sunshine


the sun drenched life in winter warmth today


entirely unusual for February
48F


we all take note at the lack of snowfall and cold days


wondering what nature is up to

 and look at this unusually shaped conk!


nature wants us to have a double dose:


ending with magical light

Like Tide Pools


days are warm
snow is melting
dripping from the roof




landing on ice cloaked earth

what do i spy
like an anenome
from the sea



mimicking 
far off universes

right before my knees


continuing to be delighted
by ice

a never before seen find

A Grace of Snowflakes


 yesterday it did not snow
yet we were given a grace of snowflakes

(above they are on the surface of my frozen creek)


I have never seen frost grow like this, never
and note the one like a hand holding a snowflake


 they landed on my wooden steps


 upon my car's windshield


 the day before we had a different expression of ice crystals
like roses


one clear evening 
the sky touched our hearts



tomorrow is Imbolc:
Gaelic festival marking the beginning of spring

here it does not feel like spring
yet the days are getting longer
in 4 weeks time
  most often i will not need to plow snow again
so i will enjoy these winter days
until spring begins to grace our lives
